Know, therefore, that the LORD your God is not giving you this good land to possess because of your righteousness, for you are a stubborn people. Deuteronomy 9:6
We can learn a lot from Israel.
In fact, Paul said all those things about them are recorded to instruct us. (Romans 15:4)
Here’s today’s lesson.
God’s provision for us is not because we are good.
It’s because He is good.
The good land,
The inheritance,
His presence,
Victory over the enemies,
His Word.
All gifts of His grace.
Not because of them
In spite of them.
The gifts we have
Are gifts of His grace.
Not because of us,
In spite of us.
